Hey all,
I guess it's sink or swim time. The local cycling club is having a ride in about 4 weeks, the photographers that have volunteered and worked the last 2 years will not be there. When I volunteered to shoot the event I thought I would be an additional lens and it would be a great learning experience, no pressure. Now I am it.
Some background, have had a Nikon D40x for about 6 weeks used mainly for nature and landscapes, I have both 18-55 and 55-200 lenses. This is a 55 mile loop course that I will be driving, and plan to scout for scenic backgrounds before the event. I guess a main goal is getting shots of each of the about 250 riders, should I just plant myself at a point 1/3 of the way in and wait until everybody has passed, then roam to other locations taking additional shots?
Luckily there is a mountain bike event in the AM that I'm going to, just to start learning about action shots.
I can see a lot more questions coming.
